How to Delete Partitions via Diskpart

If you think deleting partitions on Disk Management is inconvenient, I recommend another Windows built-in tool - Diskpart. Let's delve into the full tutorial of removing partitions via command lines. This process will erase all your data, so do a full backup before that.

Step 1. Bring up the Run box by typing the "Windows + R," type cmd, and click OK.

Step 2. Use the following commands to begin the deletion process:

(Place "O" with the target disk or partition name. Hit "Enter" each time to confirm each command.)

  • diskpart
  • list disk
  • select disk O
  • list partition
  • select partition O
  • delete partition override
  • exit

As you can see, this method is quite complicated and requires a basic understanding of commands. If you are tech-savvy, EaseUS Partition Master is easier and more effective. Refer to the simple instruction to delete partitions within three steps using EaseUS Partition Master:
